One of the island's best Italian restaurants, Michael Anthony's delivers excellent contemporary cuisine. Start off with pancetta-wrapped prawns with canneloni beans, wilted spinach and grilled Tuscan bread. Irresistible mains range from potato gnocchi with Tuscan-style wild boar to veal scalloppine with prosciutto and sage, sautéed in white wine garlic. A great wine list, featuring eight distinctive flights, pleases inquisitive guests.

HILTON HEAD PLANTATION. Situated beside the historic Fort Mitchell site, this charming restaurant overlooks Skull Creek. In the evening, patrons gather on the veranda to enjoy exquisite sunset views. Serving Low Country favorites since 1973, the kitchen staff dubs its cuisine "New Southern," and the offerings run from crab cakes to filet mignon, as well as the more adventurous dishes like lamb and goat cheese ravioli. The first seating menu includes an appetizer and dessert for the price of the main course. Excellent wine list.

Contemporary black-and-white décor ensures that your focus is directed at the food here, and thanks to special sound absorbing paneling, Red Fish is a refreshingly quiet restaurant, where it's easy to enjoy a relaxed conversation. The menu features colorful Cuban-influenced steak and seafood, all of which is available "naked" – grilled with olive oil, lime, and garlic. Other options might be Asian style Chilean sea bass with wasabi cream and soy glaze, ribs basted with a guava-orange BBQ sauce, shrimp and grits, and grilled tequila lime salmon with roasted corn salsa. There's a well rounded wine and cocktail list, but here's a tip: visit the shop first, where you can choose a great bottle of wine to enjoy with your meal – corkage is only $10.

Patrons sip wine, watch as owner-chef Matt Jordon works in the open kitchen, and eagerly await the arrival of his exquisite creations. You may also want to nibble on a spicy beef spring roll or snow pea martini. Internationally influenced meat and fish dishes line the dinner menu – for example, Colorado lamb with parmesan-basil risotto and asparagus or Asian chicken, breaded in panko and served on wild rice with vegetables and Chinese hoisin sauce.
